[Moin-user] MoinDump

[Thomas Waldmann]

Hi Waqas,

Please note that mod_wsgi 2.3 has known problems with saving pages or
file uploading for specific file sizes. Any more recent version of
mod_wsgi should work better.

That is NOT related to your problem with moin dump, though.

You do not need to do that (1. and 2.), moin export dump creates those
directories (of course, it needs the filesystem permissions to be able
to do that).

I don't think it is a problem in your specific case (you only have one
wiki, not a farm, so likely everything you give will match), but be
careful when specifying --wiki-url (in moin 1.8, I think you must NOT
give http://, just localhost/supwiki).

OK, that is normal. It only writes that one page because you told it to
do so.

It should tell "Writing ..." for all attachments of it also, though.

Well, all that "minimal theme" stuff is rather intended for full dumps
of all wiki pages. If you just dump one page, you'll only get that
single html file.

Check if filesystem permissions are OK. The user you run the script as
must be able to read the attachments and write them to the new
attachments folder in the output directory.

That's very strange. Are they ACL protected? You need to specify the
user for doing the dump in that case.

BTW, your attachments: are their names pure ascii or any special
non-ascii characters in the names?

Cheers,
